How do I know this? I went to the premiere of the festival last night and the Blizzard PR guy asked me to pass along this message. So if you are in London this weekend and go to the Sci-Fi London festival, and play one of the beta PCs there, chances are you'll get a free beta key.

Team Liquid is handing out Beta Keys, HDH invitational tournament is handing out Beta's, dozen of other SCII tourneys offer 4-5 betas here and there, man, they really seem to finally try and get the community boosted and make -even- more hype around the game (I question if thats actually possible by now)

Am in 77th Silver Leaque Division right now, couple hundred games as Terran and am happy with new battle.net interface, pass that to the dude since am lazy to give em the feedback via the SC forums

I'm just telling you fanbois this because me and one other SSLer went last night to this event and tried out the beta.

Whats your gaming name? Wanna try a 1v1?

I haven't activated my beta key yet -- I just used the one they had open at the Sci-Fi film festival. This was a press launch for the festival and the beta machines were set up, free, to try. I enjoyed it, but wouldn't say it'd hold my attention for long. I wasn't very good (although I was a bit drunk at the time, too) but the Blizzard PR guy who invited asked me to tell others that these beta keys were available for the festival goers.
